My son and I will have 2 sets of golf clubs and overnight bags in my 3RS this weekend....no issues whatsoever without a frunk.

The tires are way way out of the operating temp, G-forces are too low to benefit from the advanced suspension, possible speeds are too low for aero to work, big wheels are a liability rather than benefit due to the bigger surface for aquaplaning, sharp throttle response and turn-in also become detrimental rather than beneficial, and so on. There is no point in driving RS in these conditions over any other car, and anyone who has an RS would likely have another car. So they are testing a scenario the car was not made for and no one would use it for unless by accident. The new RS's MPSC2 tires kind of work in cold and dry (high 30s F are still enjoyable) and work fairly well in warm and wet, but cold and wet together make them useless, and any snow or sleet is just asking for trouble. I guess they (Michelin and Porsche) compromised cold weather traction for track longevity in this generation of tires by using compounds with higher operating temp window, which totally makes sense for a track car. I once ended up caught in a snow squall high in the mountains in a 992 RS, and it sucked, even compared to driving 991.1 GT3 in similar conditions, and not like "you have to know what you are doing" but rather "you are clueless if you decide to do it".

Some reviewers use followers cars or borrow 3rd party used dealerships for their review, but I believe Matt mostly uses MFG. press cars.
